JUST IN: Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Gore will not comply with a subpoena from House Oversight compelling him to testify about the Trump administration's addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Censushttps://www.axios.com/justice-department-rejects-house-oversight-subpoena-census-citizenship-question-18a59bd3-c7c5-402b-aa5b-04162726d1ad.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100 …

Yes. And what are you all going to do about it? You jail the first one, and all the rest get very cooperative, real quick. I believe, since AG Barr will order US Attorney DC, Jessie Liu, to not file contempt charges, House committees should revert to the 1935 procedure of arrest.
-
@HardballChris Notwithstanding your mockery of@RepCicilline last night for daring to identify this as an option, it is real and shd not be arbitrarily dismissed. These are, as you know, extraordinary times, calling for extraordinary measures. -
1935 procedure of arrest for contempt of Congress is covered in this Wikipedia article. The original law was enacted in 1857 but was last used in 1935. Congress needs to act fast and arrest Mnuchin. Barr needs to be called to answer criticisms in House. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_Congress …

Barr should be impeached immediately. I don't understand why there is a delay. And every single cabinet member and DOJ official that refuses to cooperate MUST be taken into custody on contempt charges.
-
Before wily lawyers for GOP or Trump bring up any other excuses Mnuchin should be brought to Congress by Master in Arms for House of Representatives and questioned re ignoring the subpoena.

With all due respect
@RepCummings, have them arrested! No more strongly worded letters! No second chances! No fines! Arrest them!! There must be consequences.#TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw cc:@SpeakerPelosi@RepJerryNadler@HouseJudiciary -
I don’t understand why they haven’t been arrested yet
-
Because the people who would arrest are the people blocking and going against the law and the constitution. It's the
@gop who need to stand up and enforce the law not the Democrats -
Congress has its own (little used, but upheld by SCOTUS) contempt powers which include incarceration. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL34097.pdf …

Except....the turtle.

The House can act on its own. It's all in the link.

They are encouraging & enabling outright citizen contempt for the law, & for the Constitutional duties prescribed for Congress.
#Barr should be indicted. -
Barr should be dis-barred. When is the ABA going to step up?
-
The ABA doesn't disbar, that's up to state bars.
@abaesq might know more. -
Thanks for the correction

There will be backlash. They have issued multiple subpoenas. And no one shows up. Can you imagine doing that at your job. FIRED
